ADION & International development
|
The Association for the International Development of the Nice Observatory (ADION) was created in June 1962 (1) with the aims : For 52 years, it participated in the influence of the observatory in different forms : It will officially cease its activities in December 2014 (2). |
Bulletin d'information - Association pour le développement international de l'Observatoire de Nice (1964-1973)
The ADION newsletter offers an overview of 40 years of scientific and administrative activities within the Nice observatory (1964-2003) as well as the role and activities of the association. Current research, projects and means implemented (staff, instruments, infrastructure) to enhance the establishment and promote national and international collaborations are presented.
In 1974, the bulletin changed its title to become the ADION Bulletin, while maintaining the same objective. This publication will appear until 2003.

ADION medalists (1963-2003) (chronological order ; alphabetical order)
The ADION medal was founded by Jean-Claude Pecker in 1962. Since 1963 ADION has awarded almost every year a medal honoring a French or foreign scholar known worldwide both for the importance of his scientific contribution to the developments of astronomy and astrophysics and for the role he played in establishing international cooperation in our science (4). Awarded by the ADION Council on the recommendation of a Medal Committee, its composition and operating rules have varied over time. In particular, the integration in 1988 of the Nice Observatory into a larger institute, the Observatory of the Côte d'Azur, led to a modification of the method of awarding the medal. Since 1991, the medal honors a scientific personality whose contributions to the advancement of science have, or have had, a significant impact on the research developed at the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur.
